Vehicle having grommet apparatus

Abstract

A grommet apparatus for a vehicle having a first floor and a second floor, and including a pin fixedly attached to a vehicle floor, a post attached to the pin; and a volcano grommet removably coupled to the post and including a volcano-grommet base member and a coupling member attached to each other such that the first floor is positioned therebetween. The pin and the post extend at least partially through the volcano-grommet base member and the coupling member, wherein the volcano-grommet base member and the post are equal in length.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A grommet apparatus for a vehicle having a first floor and a second floor, the grommet apparatus comprising:
 a pin fixedly attached to a vehicle floor;   a post attached to the pin; and   a volcano grommet removably coupled to the post and including a volcano-grommet base member and a coupling member attached to each other such that the first floor is positioned therebetween, the pin and the post extend at least partially through the volcano-grommet base member and the coupling member,   wherein the volcano-grommet base member and the post are equal in length.   
     
     
         2 . The grommet apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein an end portion of the post is substantially flushed with a top surface of the volcano-grommet base member. 
     
     
         3 . The grommet apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the volcano-grommet base member and the coupling member are disposed around the post. 
     
     
         4 . The grommet apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 another pin fixedly attached to the vehicle floor;   another post attached to the another pin; and   a slot grommet including a slot-grommet base member and an attachment member attached to each other such that the first floor is positioned therebetween, the another pin and the another post extending through the slot-grommet base member and the attachment member, and   a snap grommet removably coupled to the another post and including a snap-grommet base member and a connecting member attached to each other such that the second floor is positioned therebetween, the another pin and the another post extending at least partially through the snap-grommet base member and the connecting member,   wherein the slot grommet is movable laterally relative the first floor.   
     
     
         5 . The grommet apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein the snap grommet restricts vertical movement of the slot grommet when the snap grommet is coupled to the another post. 
     
     
         6 . The grommet apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the another post is threadably attached to the another pin. 
     
     
         7 . The grommet apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein the snap-grommet base member is disposed on the attachment member. 
     
     
         8 . The grommet apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein a top portion of the another post is substantially flushed with a top surface of the connecting member of the snap grommet.
